Money is my guess
Nah, they got kompromat on her. Bribery will get you some baubles but it’s too voluntary and you can always get outbid. You gotta get coercive if you really want to own someone’s soul.
According to the CIA, kompromat is also a less ideal way to influence someone because they eventually get exhausted and conclude the consequences are less painful than the control, and defect.
The most reliable way is to make them a true believer.
That’s why Kirk’s death is so gutting to the right: He was an excellent propagandist who specialized in influencing impressionable people.
It’s all about her ego and personal wealth/power. Her constituents are a means to those ends. She cares not for people she represents
Her deal is that she’s a Republican, which means she’s a traitor to the United States of America.
Let’s stop calling them Republicans and start calling them Nazis. It’s more accurate.
I’m starting to feel that the comparison is unfair to the Nazis.
There’s a comparison I never thought would make sense, but here we are…
Gerontocracy functioning exactly as intended
I don’t want this to become a “who’s gonna get Kirked next” kinda thing. It’s sad where the US is as a country.
Can’t the democrats still release them?
Politician should not be a career choice, it should be a limited service to your fellow citizens and you should walk away when it is time.
As long as she follows through, at least Joni Ernst is doing what she said she would, though I suspect it isn’t because of her promise but because she doesn’t want a humiliating loss after telling people cutting services is fine because we’re all going to die anyway.
Because there’s no accountability.
She’s cosplaying a moderate while sucking that federal teet something fierce. Since Alaska relies so heavily on federal funding, and that funding is at the whim of whatever geriatric rich white fuck is currently inhabiting the oval office, Alaska senators probably have to placate them more than other senators. I think its chicken shit, and I think that Murkowski specifically is chicken shit for the damage she’s causing to the country all so Alaska can keep collecting those big federal checks.
Because she’s okay with child diddlers.
Only if they either have over $1 billion in wealth or if they have an R next to their name.
Is she very rich?
Hopefully she will get Kirked.
Fuck off if you’re a Russian shill or edgy teen. I want her to be humiliated out of a job, but Kirking out your opponents isn’t a solution now.
Maybe Luigi’d ?
Look, in a perfect world we could discuss things rationally. But with a fascist government using unidentified police and the military against peaceful protests, and routinely ignoring the law, while clearly acting overtly corrupt and morally bankrupt, at some point people will react.
You’d think the billionaires in control would realize that their push to hoard more and more at the expense of the people will end with their or their decendent’s heads on pikes. You’d think they’d do something to find a stable solution with themselves on top but not pushing everyone else so far down. But they don’t seem to get it, so we’re headed to a revolution at some point. Better get used to it.
We are far past the point where a bloodless Revolution is feasible. Liberals do not understand this. Conservatives absolutely do and have for decades.
Nah if you’re fine with saying Luigi’d but not “kirked” then you’re a hypocrite and not worth having a discussion with.
…who said I said that? I don’t care what you call it, I’m talking about the action.
I have no problem with people who have caused untold amounts of death and suffering having death called upon them back. I do not understand why you would even argue that.
Because the internet is a place with consequences. I think we need some time to see what actually happened.

She seems nice. I’ve seen a flat rat wrapped around a tire after riding the tire to las Vegas a couple of times. Like that but nice.
Being a “moderate” is just an act for her constituents.
If they say that bill might not pass, because Murkowski and Collins are likely to vote against ot, then i you can be certain that the bill will pass with a single vote, and the one who vote against it will be the one that has election sooner.
This lady looks like ET never got to phone home and is pissed off about it and decided to don a crappy disguise and get into politics.
